Canada/New England High Season: September and
October quintessential autumn in New England. Here you can see the leaves at
various stages of color as you cruise up the East Coast to Canada, plus the
cooler temperatures make for nice strolling about in the various port cities.
Low/Shoulder Season: July and August The excellent summer weather makes
touring the Canadian towns especially nice (highs hover in the low 70's as
opposed to the 50's in the fall). It's also the best time for water sports
enthusiasts and families thanks to the warm temperatures in the water and out.
In fact, demand for Royal Caribbean's Canada/New England cruises has grown as
strong during the summer as it is in the fall.

Newport, Rhode Island In the 19th century, Newport was America's
Versailles. It was here that the great merchant princes and robber barons of
the Gilded Age erected the elaborate summerhouses they so ingenuously dubbed
"cottages." At the height of its splendor, a Newport season was a
giddy whirl of grand fétes, yacht races and elaborate beach picnics for
assorted Vanderbilts, Astors and Morgans. Today, it is the privileged traveler
who marvels at the splendor of great mansions like The Breakers, The Elms, or
Rosecliff. Gone are the days when "Tessie" Oelrichs, one of Newport's
fabled hostesses, had 12 skeleton ships anchored offshore and dramatically lit
for her legendary "White Ball."Bar Harbor, Maine Standing atop Cadillac
Mountain in Acadia National Park, it is easy to see why individuals like John
D. Rockefeller felt so strongly about preserving this area's natural beauty.
Established by individual donations, Acadia National Park is a stunning
intersection of sea-scoured shores, towering cliffs, and forested mountains.
Mount Desert Island had been a resort destination well before the establishment
of Acadia National Park in 1919. The wealthy flocked to Bar Harbor at the turn
of the century, building Newport-style "cottages" that turned the
quaint New England town into a fashionable summer resort. It was the efforts of
these wealthy vacationers, including John D. Rockefeller, which led President
Woodrow Wilson to establish Acadia as the first national park east of the
Mississippi. Many of Bar Harbor's great houses are a memory. A catastrophic
fire in 1947 ravaged the town and the surrounding forest. But Acadia National
Park survived, and today it is one of the most visited national parks in
America. Acadia's 35,000 acres are studded with natural wonders: In addition to
the stunning landscape, some 50 species of mammals including moose, black bear
and white tail deer roam the park.Halifax, Nova Scotia The capital of Nova Scotia and the largest city in
Canada's Atlantic Provinces, Halifax was once Great Britain's major military
bastion in North America. The beautifully restored waterfront buildings of
Halifax's Historic Properties recall the city's centuries-old maritime
heritage. Stroll the waterfront, and you may find Nova Scotia's floating
ambassador, the schooner Bluenose II, tied up to Privateer's Wharf, just as old
sailing ships have done for over 200 years. Halifax is also the gateway to Nova
Scotia's stunning scenery, including famous Peggy's Cove, where surf-pounded
granite cliffs and a solitary lighthouse create an unsurpassed scene of rugged
natural beauty.
